Timepiece (Hourglass #2) by Myra McEntire
Published by Egmont USA
Published in June 2012

This is an amazing sequel to the first book, Hourglass. I completely loved the entire
book from beginning to end, because the book was very well written, all the
puzzle pieces fall into place, and the writing style of Myra McEntire is very
elaborate and complex. What I absolutely loved about this book, it the concept
that it is written from the perspective from a secondary character in the first
book, Kaleb, and how his whole life also revolves around the whole hourglass
problem. I enjoyed reading more this book than the first, so if you read the
first book and liked it, you are absolutely going to enjoy reading this one. I
really recommend people to read the first book, and continue on with the
series.

Venom was a fantastic book from
beginning to end. Venom takes place in the city of Venice, Italy. The book
contains a murder mystery in historical Venice, romance, danger, historical
background, and awesome characters. I really enjoyed reading the book, because
the story always completely took different paths from what I thought, and the
ending was completely unexpected. This book was a really good page turner, and
although the book is long, it will keep you intrigued from beginning to end. I
really recommend this book to everyone who enjoys mysteries with historical
background. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I really enjoyed reading this book, because there was a lot
of romance, loyalty, betrayal and butt-kicking fights. I also enjoyed this book
a lot, because I got to get to know the characters in more depth, and this book
was very descriptive with feelings, which made me understand these characters
more than any of the other books in these series. I absolutely loved the book,
and I think that this book was a very nice ending to the Maximum Ride series.
Although I was a little disappointing that they didn't really get to save the
world.... or that you are never told if they ever did, because the series was
based on her saving the planet and the human population, and towards the end,
they seem to be the only survivors.

Where do I start? Christopher Pike writes about a mystical, outrageous, and fantastic world in his book, Thirst! This book has kept me reading it every day and nonstop until my eyes get worn out from too much reading. Thirst has three books in it, which is the reason it's very large. Thirst includes in it, The Last Vampire, Black Blood, and Red Dice. Each book made me fall in love with the characters as well as the author, more and more! Thirst may be a spectacular book, but there are 3 more waiting for me to explore.

Alisa Perne may look 18 years old, but she really knows her true age! She's been to Ancient Rome, Egypt, mostly anywhere in the world. Her true age, she would probably kill me for telling, is 5,000 years old. I was wondering how on Earth is that possible, but truly think about it. Wanting to kill me, by drinking all my blood! Really answers to -- VAMPIRE! Alisa Perne, the 5,000 year old bloodsucking MONSTER!

Alisa's secret has been discovered, now she's on the hunt to find who's sending men after men to capture her and "experiment" on her. Of course, from dangerous, out of the world adventure always comes...Romance! Alisa, the dangerous, is she "that" dangerous to survive?

I'm only going to recommend this book to VAMPIRE LOVERS, obviously obsessed readers, and also people who want to discover Pike's crazy and mystical world. If those qualities fit you, pick up the book and join Alisa in her adventure of life or death!

I was very intrigued by this book because it keep me
interested and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. This book
contained mystery, supernatural powers, and a twisting plot with a very
unexpected ending. This is the best time traveling book I've read, and it was
definitely one of the best page turner books I've ever read. I loved the book,
and I would encourage people who like supernatural, time traveling, mysteries,
romance and unexpected endings to consider reading this amazing book.
